If I can flip, SC no brainer. If not, touring.

I felt the same way this past weekend when I saw one at my dealer awaiting a "halo" client.
Meh.

I had first dibs on a SC at MSRP if I traded my touring back in at MSRP. Passed on it knowing what floats my boat is the GT cars and now waiting on the ST. The fellow who bought it absolutely loves it and exactly the car he wanted. I’m happy he got it new, at MSRP(Canada).

i think a very large % of these are trading sardines based on how many I’ve been able to find for sale with minimal effort.

I’d take the touring. The big wheels and big ducktail just make the sport classic look *bigger* to my eye.

It's not a BAD transmission, but it's far from special and at that price point, it should be.

I have 7 speed on 992s cab and its not terrible...

im an intermediate driver and i have 992gt3 with pdk

find myself grabbing keys of 7 speed more these days

I'm obviously biased considering I bought a SC. We decided on the SC because of it's driving characteristics. It's truly a touring car that fits our lifestyle for long spirited drives and touring alike. Plus we like the heritage design and throw back to the ducktails. It's not lost on me that we were totally captured by Porsche marketing...

The challenge is finding a SC. My guess is that there is only a few still available. I know of one in the US that hasn't been sold, but has 3 bidders on it.

I would love to drive a SC, but my GT3 is unlike any other…

Maybe one of these nice gents would loan Raymort his car for a couple of quick laps at COTA. Love to see how that 4 3 2 shift would compare

I’d take a GT3 with full aero over both, but def touring over the SC. I actually don’t get the appeal of the SC so it wouldn’t be close. I’d take one to flip to a pigeon, though.

Some respect to other car buyers and porsche products would be much appreciated.
